There is no need for funding for the wall now. The design phase is going forward now with bids being received. Funding will be needed for the construction phase, but there is time for that. No doubt, there will also be lawsuits to be resolved along with some need for eminent domain. And add to that environmental impact statements.

Trump is committed to building the wall and it will be done.

 

And remember. Trump campained on the promise that MEXICO will pay for the Wall. So I don't give a care if taxpayer funding is included or not. This is a low priority issue.

Too early for hand-wringing and pearl-clutching. Trump is moving ahead with his immigration agenda despite the obstacles put in his way. I will be concerned if at the same time next year Trump has not advanced. 101 days in office is not the time to panic.

Again, it is important to remember that the design phase is proceeding ahead. No construction can proceed until that is done. I have been involved in multiple USG construction projects. The first phase is site acquisition followed by design and then construction.

But Planned Parenthood, NPR, and sanctuary cities continue to get tax-payer funds. And secondly, how will Mexico “pay for the Wall” without those funds being appropriated for that use by the legislative branch? There’s no spinning this one.
